The applicant only, not the british spousebookerw100 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 3:35 pmthanks. In the question below, are they referring to ILR or spouse visa or both?
Your previous visa
Do you have a previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain where you had to prove your knowledge of English? (Yes/No) If Yes,
Tell us the previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain you had
perhaps I could have been clearer. I meant to ask when they ask this question from the applicant that "tell us the previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain you had" Shall the applicant say say FLR(M) or ILR or both?CR001 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 3:42 pmThe applicant only, not the british spousebookerw100 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 3:35 pmthanks.

1) Separately they ask about previous application for the UK. Prior to spouse visa and subsequent applications, the applicant came over to the UK as a student in Sep 2015 to Jan 2017 and as a tourist in early 2018. Do these need to be mentioned as we don't necessarily have all details about reference numbers for these two applications if they were immigration applications mention them and add all te detail you remember.
2) also there is a question in the employment section "Tax office reference number" I presume this is the same as 'PAYE Reference' in the payslip? it's not always on the payslip. Ask your HR department to be sure.

The application asks for "Proof of living in the UK for applicant for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen"
So one has to scan all the pages with entry/exit stamps - also blank pages? Cost nothing to scan all and include/upload.
The applicant needs to scan the old and the new. Old to show travel history in the last 5 years, new to show what the current passport details are.bookerw100 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 11:22 amThanks, the applicant recently got a new passport last month - do they have to scan over all the blank pages in this passport as well even though it has not been used to travel abroad?
Scan all pages of both passports, it costs you nothing and covers all bases.bookerw100 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 11:22 amThanks, the applicant recently got a new passport last month - do they have to scan over all the blank pages in this passport as well even though it has not been used to travel abroad?
All that counts is was partner British on the day spouse received ILR.bookerw100 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:57 amThanks,
Wanted to just double check something - when applicant first came on spouse visa, their spouse was on ILR. Got naturalised 3 months after they came to the UK ??? and subsequent extension and ILR were received as spouse of British citizen.
So when applicant now applies for BC, am guessing they come under "spouse of British" even though initially when they came they weren't spouse of BC. Just want to double check as they ask for 3 years of details as spouse of BC and 5 years if not. Its an obvious answer but just want to double check.
No.bookerw100 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 4:25 pmHi
does the "Declaratation for spouses" need to be signed and uploaded similar to ILR? It hasn't been asked for.
